2. Introduction
The SR5 series of coin acceptors has been designed to be compatible with the standard 5”
format currently used throughout the vending, amusement and leisure industries.
Through the development of Series Resonance technology, the SR5 incorporates the highest
levels of discrimination and functionality. Each acceptor within the series will accept up to 16
different coins or 15 coins plus one token.
Depending on your requirements, the SR5 series can be set-up to be backwards compatible
with the C220B, C420, C435, C435 UK AWP and C450. This will be determined by the Mode.
Mode 1 = C435
Mode 2 = C435 - BACTA Binary
Mode 3 = C420
Mode 4 = C435 - Customer Selectable Credit Codes
Mode 5 = C450/5 BDTA - 12 Coin
Mode 6 = Custom PCB
Mode 7 = C435 - Customer Selectable Credit Codes - C420 (Mode3) Inhibits
Mode 8 = C435 - Customer Selectable Credit Codes - BACTA (Mode2) Inhibits
Mode 9 = 16 coin BDTA - Custom Credit Codes - Custom Inhibits
Mode 10 = C220B - Old
Mode 11 = C220B - New
(See Manual TSP021 for further interface details).
As with all new Money Controls products other enhancements have been made to the SR5
series as well as the new sensing technology.
These include:-
¾ccTalk serial communication. (see sections 18 to 21)
¾Extended Teach and Run™ options. (see “TSP012 SR5 MechToolTM Manual”)
¾Coinless programming.
¾Adjustable coin security. (see “TSP012 SR5 MechToolTM Manual”)
¾MechToolTM programmability. (see “TSP012 SR5 MechToolTM Manual”)
¾Improved sorter coin detection.

3. Operation
Coin discrimination parameters are factory programmed for optimum acceptance of up to 16
different coins or tokens and therefore no field adjustment is necessary beyond token select /
Teach and Run™(see page 29).
However, the SR5 can now be programmed on site without the use of coins and for total
flexibility, if a new coin/token is required, the Teach and Run™function can be used to program
all 16 coins and the token position 12.
Coins are inserted into a front or top entry acceptor and roll past a set of Series Resonant
sensors. If the characteristics measured from the inserted coin match the stored window
readings in all respects, then the coin is recognised as being true. The accept gate will then
open and the coin will pass through the accept sensor. Once this happens the SR5 will send a
predefined credit signal to the host machine which will correspond to the coin accepted.
Depending on the SR5 model configuration the coin may then be diverted to one of 4 different
paths or 8 paths if using an active manifold.
If, on comparing the inserted coins characteristics, to all the pre-programmed parameters, the
coin readings do not match, this coin will be deemed invalid, the accept gate will remain closed
and the coin will travel through to the reject via the reject path. The position of the reject path
will be subject to whether a direct reject or indirect reject option has been fitted.

8. Alarms
When enabled, an alarm condition will activate the accept lines with the binary pattern 10111,
(no Accept 4), for 80ms or for as long as the fault exists, depending on the alarm condition.
Conditions that will indicate an alarm condition are:
1. A coin travelling backwards past the inductive sensors which indicates a fraud is being
attempted.
2. If the sorter optos are blocked for more than 1.5 seconds, the alarm signal will remain
active, for the duration of the blockage.
To turn the alarms ON or OFF see page 30 ‘Alarm and Rundown settings “D”’.
8.1 Power-up Diagnostics
When the SR5 powers up, it performs an EEPROM self-check. If there is a problem with the
checksum, the LED will turn red and no coins will be accepted.
If diagnostic self check is enabled, the following are checked and if there is a problem then
the accept lines will show the alarm code, for as long as the fault is present.
¾Blockage in the sensor area / faulty sensor.
¾EEPROM checksum
¾If a sorter is fitted the optics are checked for a blockage.
Note: If a sorter should be fitted but has been removed, then the SR5 will think the sorter
optics are blocked and therefore the alarm condition will be permanent. This can only be
rectified by re-fitting a sorter or re-programming the SR5.
When the blockage / fault is rectified, the alarm code will automatically be removed, except
for a checksum error where the power has to be removed and re-applied.

9. Dual Coin Entry Rundown Interface (DCE)
Figure 5: DCE Connector Pin Outs
This interface is used with the dual coin rundown. It is used to provide information to the SR5
indicating whether a coin or a token has been entered.
Normally, when there is no coin or token in the entry, both the opto detectors are active as they
are receiving infrared light from the corresponding emitter. This is the quiescent state.
When a coin or token is entered then the light path between the corresponding emitter and
detector is broken and the detector becomes inactive.
Once the coin has passed the optics, the system returns to its quiescent state.

normal state, floating /High, is Selected (Bank Enabled).
If the Bank Select DIL switch is set to the ON position De-selected (Bank Inhibited) then
changing the state of the Bank Select input will have no effect.
If the Bank Select pin on the parallel connector is Low, De-selected (Bank Inhibited) then
changing the state of the Bank Select DIL switch will have no effect.
10.1 Ident Pin
The ident pin (pin 1) can be used by the host machine to identify the SR5 acceptor and
hence interpret the binary credit code outputs.
The ident pin is linked on board to COM A and will reflect COM A status providing pin 8,
(select), is Low. The ident pin status will change within 10ms of a change in the select line
status.

10.2 Coin Accept Outputs
These outputs are capable of functioning as current sink, (negative COM A) or current
source (positive COM A).
If the value of COM A is outside the specification, then the performance of the Accept
outputs is not guaranteed.
On acceptance of a true coin, the transistors (COM A dependant) are turned on for a period
of 80ms(2) (+/- 5%) to within 1 volt of COM A at a Max. current source/sink of 50mA.
The host machine must look for valid credit pulses NOT LESS THAN 50ms. It is not sufficient
to merely detect the edges of credit pulses. This ‘de-bounce’ will prevent credits being
registered by the host machine as a result of any noise or false credit pulses being induced
on the output lines.

10.3 Select Input
This input determines whether the SR5 is in 5 coin mode or 16 coin mode. 5 coin mode
uses a single output per coin and is therefore limited to 5 different credit codes.
A High will select 5 coin mode whilst a Low will select 16 coin mode.
The default condition is High and therefore 5 coin mode.

10.4 Inhibit Lines
The Inhibit inputs define whether a programmed coin will be accepted or not. Which coins
are affected by the inhibit inputs is decided in conjunction with the Bank Select inputs. (See
next section).
If the Inhibit pin is not connected OR High then the corresponding coin will be inhibited i.e.
Rejected.
If the Inhibit pin is Low then the corresponding coin will be accepted if deemed to be true.
Note: The default setting is for ALL inhibit inputs to be High and therefore coins are inhibited.
10.5 Bank Select Parallel Inputs (Modes 1, 4, 7 and 8)
The SR5 is capable of accepting up to 16 different coin types.
Whilst it is possible for the coins to operate entirely independently, for the purposes of
inhibiting coins they are arranged in 2 banks of 8.
It is therefore only necessary to have 8 inhibit inputs (1 per coin in each bank).
Each of the Bank Select inputs controls its relevant bank (1 or 2).
Bank 1 contains coins 1 to 8.
Bank 2 contains coins 9 to 16.
When a Bank Select input is Low3, then the corresponding bank of coins are de-selected (i.e.
inhibited).
When a Bank Select input is High4, then the corresponding bank of coins are selected (i.e.
enabled).
The 8 inhibit inputs only act on the coins in the bank/s that are enabled.
Examples.
When both Bank Select inputs are High then both banks of coins are selected. In this state
the 8 inhibit lines act on all 16 coins, i.e.
Inhibit 1 controls coin 1 and coin 9.
Inhibit 2 controls coin 2 and coin 10 and so on up to
Inhibit 8 controls coin 8 and coin 16
When Bank Select 1 input is High and Bank Select 2 input is Low then coin Bank 1 is
selected and coin Bank 2 is de-selected, i.e.
Inhibit 1 controls coin 1.
Inhibit 2 controls coin 2 and so on up to
Inhibit 8 controls coin 8.
When Bank Select 1 input is Low and Bank Select 2 input is High then coin Bank 1 is de-
selected and coin Bank 2 is selected, i.e.
Inhibit 1 controls coin 9.
Inhibit 2 controls coin 10 and so on up to
Inhibit 8 controls coin 16.
Notes: 3Pulling the Bank Select Low is the same as setting the DIL switch UP (the ON position).
4Pulling the Bank Select High is the same as setting the DIL switch DOWN (the OFF
position).

11. Sorting Coins
Due to the improvements incorporated in the SR5 4-way sorter, this sorter is not
compatible with any of the sorters previously manufactured by MCL and vice versa.
11.1 4-way Sorter
Normally the SR5 will be used to sort coins to one of 4 paths.
(The passive manifold, if fitted, is used to channel the coins into the industry standard
footprint).
Sorting can be achieved either using the routing plug (see Sorting Modes – page 22) or
having the paths pre-programmed into EEPROM. Switching between EEPROM and routing
plug can be achieved using the rotary switch (see Routing Plug / EEPROM mode “E”– page
31)

11.2 8-way Sorter (Active Manifold)
Other applications require sorting up to 8 different paths. This can be achieved using the
active manifold in conjunction with the 4-way sorter. This method can only be used however,
if the sorter paths are programmed in EEPROM.

12. Sorter Overrides
12.1 4-Way Override
Figure 9: Sorter Overrides 4-way
4-way sorting can be achieved either via the routing connector or pre-programmed in
EEPROM.
Overrides 1 to 4 control paths A-D (as shown) irrespective of method used.
Taking the relevant input Low indicates to the acceptor that the route is overridden. The coin
will then travel down the next programmed/routing connector path or be accepted to the
DEFAULT ‘A’ path.
Note: Path A can be overridden as long as there is another path for that coin to divert to which
has not already been overridden.
